Answer: In the first paragraph, the narraraor seeks to establish his credibility,  as if he expects the reader to believe that his especially acute sense of hearing makes him more believable than an ordinary observer. The narrarator purports that his calm, detailed account will be accepted as truthful, despite some irrational decisions and actions. The narrarator's attention to detail clues the reader to "expect the unexpected" in terms of details the narrator's heightened senses reveal.

In the third paragraph, the narrator reveals that he has, in fact, killed the old man. We are hearing the account of a murderer rationalizing his actions, as if this is what anyone with his keen perception and ability to carry out this elelaborate scheme would have done. The reader realizes that this narrator is crazy, but we are still listening, but we can intrpret his intentions as absolutely irrational. Speaking corageously to the man by day, sneaking stealthily into his bedroom by night.

The fourth paragraph confirms the reader's suspicions that the narator is beyond belief: feeling the extent of his own powers. And even when he thinks the old man may have heard him, he persists in his incredibly slow, deliberate intention to intrude into the man's bedroom-- hoping to see  what he has defined as Evil Eye-- as if the narrator has a duty to eliminate something that vexes only him. Our impression must be that this narrator can't escape the consequences of his actions.

<h2>Hello Marie Here!!!</h2><h2>(____ That means any name you would like)</h2>

I walked into my room and flopped on my bed. "____ Come here please" My mom called for me. I got off my bed and walked toward the kitchen. I sniffed the air "Smells good mom" I said to her. She smiled at me and handed me my plate. I looked down at the food. <em>Cornbread, chicken wings and water</em> ​​​​​​​I thought. Once I got finished, I walked back into my room and called my best friend ____. "Hello, Hello?" _____ Said. "Hi, I was wondering if you would like to go in the woods and look around?" I asked her. "You just moved here. You sure?"  ____ said.  "I'm sure" I said while getting dressed for the woods. 

I walked out of the door, as ____ ran up to me "Hello, Hello ____" She said to me. I waved at her. We walked into the woods.<em> Ooh</em> AND <em>Ahh</em>. We would say when we saw colorful birds. But then A wolf came up to us growling. I backed up and acted big, while backing up. When I got back to my house I was exhausted, but relieved that I wasn't hurt.​

Which word is a singular noun ? a) athletic b) men c) clowns d)dancers
Masteriza [31]
I believe you have a typo when it comes to the first option - it should be athletics, not athletic. The word athletic is an adjective, and the word athletics is a noun.
That being said, the correct answer is A. athletics. Even though this noun ends in -s, it is still singular. The rest of the options are all plural nouns.
